I did not know that duck beaks make good fish bait.

More sensationalistic journalism. It is a gar. Any research at all would tell you what this fish is. By the way, they are not too bad eating, but the skin is like iron. My father-in-law butchers them in pieces with an axe. Then make a circle just inside the skin to skin it. He mowed a piece of the skin all summer one year and did not destroy it.

Yes, you could probably catch a fish with a duck beak, but fish hooks work much better.

I killed a deer with a BMW 325e once.

Yep, I was just going to say it was an alligator gar. I guess reporters can’t research anything in today’s world.
